Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hour of despair over come me may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times. May 1 still remember the bright home that found me walk ing over the silent hills of . my child hood, or dreaming on the margin of the quiet river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God to have courage amid the tem pests of the changing years. Spare me from bitterness and the sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world know me not, may my thoughts and actions be such as shall keep me friendly with myself. Lift my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that 1 should judge others, lest 1 condemn myself. Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my path. Give me a few friends who will love me for what 1 am; and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me. and 1 conn not in sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to he thankful for life, and for time's golden memories that are good add sweet; and may the ev ening's twilight find me gentle still.?

Call on ? 1 Anderson & Blakely j I Laurens, South Carolina | HER BRAVE I SOLDIER j MUb Molly Harb?n had found the park a delightful place in the early forenoon hours. The squlrrela were out In'full force, every bird had 1U song, and Buch people as were about carried good-natured faces. Of all places to finish up the last three chap ters of an Interesting book the par* had the lead. And little Tot, six years old. Hiss Molly's niece, had found the park a regular paradlBe. A quarter of a mile away Cant. Phil Dayton of the army, who had been Invalided home from the Philippines, Bat on a Belected bench every morning and blebsed the park. "Please, sir, I'm looted!" Captain Phil had finished his paper and laid it down beside him and was fairly nodding in Bleep. He straight ened up with a Jerk and opened his eyeB very wide at eight of the owr-ex of the voice?little Tot. She stood be fore him with fingers clasped, a very solemn look on her face, and the sus picion of tears in her eyes. "I Bay I'm loBted," she repeated as the captain continued to Btare. "Oh, I see." ho replied. "You came into the park alone and have got turned around and can't find the way out?" "No, I didn't come alone. Aunt Mol ly came with me. I ran away from j her and got lostcd. I've been walking mllea and miles, but I can't find her again, She'll be awfully Beared." "And how about you?aren't you scared ?" "Oh, no. I know I'd find somebody to take me home." "And what Is your name?" "Tot Foster. Do you thing it's a nice name?" "I surely do. How far do you live from the park?" "Oh, we have to take a street car, and the conductor ehargCB me full fare. Ho told Aunt Molly that I was no kid." "Well. Miss Tot. I think the beet thing we can do is to wait right here for a little time. Your aunt will sure ly he searching for you, and Is apt to come this way. Desides, there will bo a policeman along soon, and we can get him to help. Plenty of room for you to Bit down hero by me." "Thank you, f>lr!" said Tot with all the dignity of a married woman; and after taking a seat close beside him she continued. "It wasn't a week ago that Aunt Molly told mamma that if she ever married It would be a bravo soldier. You are brave, aren't you?" "People have said bo." 'Then that ?ettles lt. As Boon bb Auntie finds me I'll Introduce you. I guess she's gone some other way. Let's walk and walk until wc find her." They walked and walked, and talked and talked, and strangely enough they encountered no one searching for a "losted" girl. One of the entrances was reached at last, and the captain asked: "Does this look like the place you usually come in at ?" "Why, it surely is." Tot answered. "Yes, I recognize it by that squirrel then- Now all we've got to sit down on this bend) and wait for auntie. She'll soon come a llying. Hut I must know your name or I can't Inlroduco you." "It's Captain Dayton, if you please." "That's . nice name, and i know auntie Will hi- pleased with It She's pretty particular about names. My stars, there comes auntie now." It was true. Aunt Molly and a sol emn policeman were coming <<n tho run, and lust at that moment an auto came up . nd stopped at the entrance. There were two exclamations uttered that Captain Dayton did not forget for a year: "Oh. Tot. my darling!" from the half-distracted aunt. "In the kidnaping business, oh? come along!" from the solemn police man. And while Aunt Molly was hugging Miss Tot and being hugged In return, the soldier was hustled Into Hie auto and the chauffeur ordered to drive to a police station. "Cot hint and It's a straight case." Said the ofllC? r to the lieutenant at tho desk. Captain Dayton gave his name, ad dress am! profession. He had the doc uments with him as corroboratlon. The lieutenant was about to asi< bint If he thought the police force could he taken In that way when an atlt< catno Chugging tip ami Miss Tot and Aunt Molly came hurrying In. "You Jnst let this gentleman g<>!" ordered the little girl as she advanced and took the prisoner by the hand. "I'm sure he didn't Intend in tend?" Haid Aunt Molly, but could get no further. "And he wasn't trying to kidnap you?" asked the officer of Miss Tot. "Of course he wasn't' He was see ing me home!

HOG FEED IN SOUTH Animal 1$ More of Herbivorous Nature Than Supposed. Variety of Crops That Swine Appre elate. Especially When Given In Dry, Clean Piece and Not Thrown In Mud and Water. The bos I* more of an herbivorous animal than I? generally credited. There in hardly any grass or grain but what hogs will eat when green, and there are many weeds on which they will feed. They will even eat and relish dry hay, such as cowpea hay, soy bean hay, beggarweed hay, and In fact any legume hay, when properly cured. These grasses and hays, however, will not entirely re place the grain In the feed; but they will replace a part of It, and at the same time Increase the gain from a given amount of grain. For Instance, If 100 pounds of corn fed alone will produce 8 to 10 pounds of pork, this same amount of corn when fed with some green feed will produce from 12 to 15 pounds of pork. TIiIb Is not mainly due to the nourishment In the green BtufT, but rather that the green feed regulates and tones up the di gestive and circulatory systems and keeps them In good healthy condi tion. The hog Is mneh Hire any other ani mal with regard to feed. A variety of feeds is appreciated, especially when they are given In a clean dry place, and not thrown out In the mud and water, as Ib often done. The fol lowing Is a list of valuable forage crops for bogs In Florida. The crops on this list will give pasture through out the entire year. Dwarf Essex rape may be planted any time from September to Novem ber 15. From eight to ten weeks after planting it should give good pasture, and will rontinuo to furnish good grazing until the middle of March. Rape will stand several degrees of frost, and bo makes an excellent win ter pasture In Florida. With the pas turing properly managed and liberal fertilizing, threo good crops may be had during the growing season. Yields of 14 to 16 tons pere acre have been secured on the experiment station grounds. Rape costs from $1.30 to $1.00 per ton, according to the yield obtained and the cost of fertilizing. Japanese cane may bo planted any time from November 15 to April 1. It will give abundant grazing from the following November to March 1. Perhaps we have no other forago crop that will produce such an enormous growth of green feed as will Japanese cane. It may be pastured, or cut and fed to hogs In the lot. A yield of 20 to 25 tons per acre Is not too much to expect. In a test at the experi ment station last year, the yields per aero from eight plots were from 16 to 27 tons, with an average yiold per acre of 19.8 tons. The coat of grow ing this erop Is about $30 per acre, for the flrst y?ar. The cost per aero for the following years should not ex ceed $12.50 to $15. After tho first year It can be produced for from 40 to 60 cents per ton. Rye, fiats and barley may be sown during September and October. With favorable conditions they should fur nish good pnsturugo In from eight to ten weeks. They should, If not over pastured, continue i i glvo good pas turage until the following April. Sorghum may be planted in tho hitter par! of Februar.N or early in March. With good growing weather, ii should furnish good pasturage, until frosl kills it in November. Sorghum will yield from S to Id tons per acre. The cost of growing it varies from $12 lo ^16 per acre, Chufas and peanuts may be planted in March or April, and will supply food from Angus) t" I lecombor. Sweet potatoes may be planted an> time from April to .Inly ID. and will give an abundant pasturage from Oc 'ober to December. A yield of 150 to 300 bushels per acre has been secured on the experiment station farm. Vel vet '..cans should be planted from March 15 to May I. and will furnish good grazing from November lo ''arch. Cowpcns and soy beans are also useful. Tin y may he plain.) any lime from April to July, |,, from (WO to throe months they will give nn nbundnnt o of feed. for permanent past tiro it is doubt ful if we can ge* anything hotter than Hermuda and Johnson grass These do not furnish pasturngo for Use en tiro year, hut can be dop? mied u] on from early spring until late fall. To grow those crops successfully, the ground must lie thoroughly prepared, given a liberal application of f< rlil i/cr, and properly cultivated during the growing season ol tho crop. Spraying Fruit The effect of judicious spraying with fungicides is to check the drop plug of Immature fruit in the spring, to cause it to grow to larger size and more freo from blemishes; to cause it to hang better to the tree while ripening, and to Improve its keeping quality, As ne asurod by market value. Hprnylng has added nearly ioo per cent, to the value of the crop at a cost of less than Iii cents a tree, in cluding labor, Copper sulphate costs from 6 to 7 cent- -i pound, according to the quality in .hieb it Is bought, and to spray largo trees thoroughly about oho pound a ire, ia required for fno four set ?, .
